NBA 2K12 Legendary Teams Will Be Playable Online, Via DLC

[The 24th Letter]

Supposing that we would have to pay, "I" would gladly do it ... at a reasonable price tho ... and I have been jobless for 2+ years.

People want 2k to adapt to modern standards in other areas but not in this one ... paid dlc is a modern standard for succesfull games ... and one that, if done right, could set 2k in a better financial position.

Given 2ks tendency for putting extra efforts for going all in, on the 1 year cycles, it could only benefit us a lot that they could be in a better financial position.

excellent post sir

i m not paying for this option. if i know 2k, there will be bugs

[Killaice2099]

I think its awesome. but I do agree that I would have been more hyped to find out by playing the game than it being spoiled here

So currently we cant be entirely sure if regular (not streetball ect) 5 on 5 games can be played?

I hope this means overall online is improved.

I'm not bashing 2K for having paid DLC in the game, but I'm sensing a double standard here. Were it any other unpopular game company, people would be crying foul and calling said company greedy, but because it's 2K, people are applauding the move.

I might even end up purchasing this DLC if the feedback is good enough, but I don't think we should get carried away with the hype and praise. 2K is a business first and foremost, so they will eventually begin to charge us whatever they think the market is willing to pay, and rightfully so, from a business standpoint. We're the market, so excessive praise is counterproductive.

Im just one consumer...but I never mind paying for DLC if its worth it. At the end of the day, I reserve the right not to buy it. Its the kind of market we are in now. Its not going anywhere no matter how hard we kick or scream.

Now I do get annoyed when crappy games charge for DLC....Mass Effect, 2k, Street Fighter ill gladly cough up dough....but when I see games that are half a*** like Madden, SVR2011 nickel and diming, I refuse to pay. Thats my choice...2k has earned enough respect from me to trust them in this situation (if we do have to pay)...thats not being a fanboy, (not that you said that) its being a satisfied customer.

LOL I doubt if you would have to pay for it they may have added it after everyone was so mad about them not including it so it maybe a release day download.

[theprocess]

Everybody go bat **** crazy!

You have to pay! Sorry 2k, I will not be paying for something that used to be free. I haven't logged in to this site in over a year since the release of 2k11 but I had to put my two cents in. But FU 2k.

I dont mind DLC. What bothers me is 2k making me pay extra for something that could have been on the game disc at launch. If you add something in february, fine. But dont make me pay more for no reason.

If theres no way to have a simple classic team exhibition match equaling the offline experience (a regular game featuring the Pistons v the Bulls for example) then there's no way in hell I'd pay for this. 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 in a streetball type game? No thanks.

Baffles the mind if what I'm assuming is true.

You can use classic teams online in a regular game matchup, according to the screenshot on the first page.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legendary Teams Will Be Playable Online, Via DLC

Is this basically going to work like this:

If you buy the DLC, you get matched up with other people that have bought it.

Or is it a completely separate game mode so you can ONLY choose the classic teams?

It just says "play online", which doesn't necessarily mean proper 5 on 5. It could be just limited to the Showcase game modes, which would be insane if true. No one wants that, they want 5 on 5 classic basketball.
